The Stitch and Its Uses
Use this stitch to replace bias tape casings
in such areas as wrists and waists. In
children's clothing, this stitch is especIally
helpful, because it reduces bulk.
Here's How
1. Slide a piece of 1/8" elastic under the
foot, then up through the slot in Foot F
(satin stitch).
2. Sew the elastic on the wrong side of the
fabric, pulling it gently to avoid sewing
through the elastic.
3. Pull on the elastic to gather the fabric
and bartack at both ends.
